Yes. Under those circumstances, it's a "black mark."

P.S. I'm not suggesting it, I'm stating it.
Right wing bovine excrement yet again. Somehow these US citizens are less worthy than others?

Oldglory st least has an absurd theory that they are not actually citizens but you want to punish them anyway?

I think we should give everyone a $40k annual stipend regardless of working status, pegged to inflation, just for being in America. Including immigrants. Even illegal ones.

Free healthcare goes without saying. That isn't even optional. This is America, by God. We have more billionaires than you can shake a stick at. We can afford this.

No we can't! Our premiums are high and our medical personnel are being stretched thin by a rapid increase in our population much due to "immigration". Too many people not paying into the system either. Our billionaires aren't paying for every else's health care nor should they have to.
